True story indeed this is. As I walked into Pier 1 Imports looking for anything different as I am remodeling for a contemporary look. I did not know I was giong to get something for myself.1
I walked straight to the back of the store as I do all stores and saw a glass figurine shaped as a head that appealed to me. I picked it up and carried it with me in my arms the whole time of about an hour rubbing on it and calling it head.2
I got to the check out counter and the cashier took my head and tried to bring it up but the numbers on the bar code were wore off from me polishing it. So I told her as she told me it will take awhile to find the numbers in the catalogue; To just hold it until tomorrow and I will come back and get my head.3
So she took a note and wrote. "Darr will get head tomorrow" I started laughing so hard I knew I was fixing to bust a cap when she immidetaly scratched that out and said Darren will get it tomorrow. I continued laughing for only the thought of what I was going to be picking up was excitment in itself.4
The next day came and I went back to get head. I was looking for the lady who had originally tried to sell me head but she was not there. To my surprise a different lady was in the store and said to me that I looked like a man that was looking for something. I did not even think about what I was saying until I said it. I blurted out that I am looking for head. She laughed and said we usually keep that in the back, come with me I will get your head for you.5
She said even herself the numbers were wore off that it may take a few minutes to get the head brought up so she would know what to charge me for the head. It was taking quite some time and while she was looking for the numbers she said, you really don't want head anyway do you? My reply; I am a man and I want head.6
I told her "the lady yesterday said it was fifeteen dollars" and about that time, she said here are the numbers and rang it up to come to nine dollars and thirty one cents. I gave her a ten and told her she was better than the lady yesterday as I walked out the store with head and thanking her for the 69 - cents in change that is!7
I display head ontop of my desk now so that I can be reminded of how fun it was to shop for head. Though I was kind of dissapointed in the time it took to get the head I was informed the other day by a reader that any head under fifeteen bucks is worth getting!
Author notes
Sometimes in life, we just have no idea what is about to happen or what is about to be said. This is a true story and I have the head to prove it.

Hi, and thank you for entering my contest
Head for less then 15 dollars; that’s a bargain, I thought this was funny; As soon as the lady wrote down: Darran will come for head tomorrow, I knew this was going to be funny.
The fact that it is a true story makes it even better! Good luck and I hope you enjoy yourself in participating in this contest. Until the next time I read your story..
Love
Sam

k-dense - actually i dont really like the sexual stuff,this story really happend and I thought i would share its humor. I will browse through your writings nonethelss and thank you for your comment.

mademoiselle - i tmay be so become an urban legend, I would enjoy it if it would. True stories like this are hard to come by.

Twisted, but funny. I actually refer to oral sex by its more modern/Hip-Hop term "Brain." My favorite t-shirt is one I own that says "Brain Is For Lovers" in parody of the classic "Virginia Is For Lovers." Even the traditional heart accompanying "Virginia Is For Lovers," has been replaced with a red brain. I love that damn shirt. Only 1 in every 25 some-odd people even get it. Anyway, there's a few typos and misspells in this piece, but I found it wildly entertaining. Feel free to browse through the collection of my own work that I've posted on this site under the domain name k-dense. Since you like humor and innuendo so much, you should start with my poems "The Dormouse and The Elephant," "Heart Strings," and "She," before reading my non-comedic and non-sexual pieces. This cracked me up. Keep up the good work.-Curtis Meyer

When you first told me this story I laughed aloud and said oh my you should
place this very funny true-life story on all poetry.com. I’m dancing with you that other's are enjoying you as I do. My beloved friend you possess a golden sense of humour. I only wish you were here or I was there. I have one secret message for you. Would it be funny to count out 69 cents in pennies nickels dimes and so on!
“Only in deep relationship does somebody's love resound in you and bring your depth into being. Only through somebody else do you discover yourself.”
All my love to you and you know I really mean this kiss to you.
Forever touch this kiss as a symbol of our truth. I love you I came to love you.
Somehow, I blew away. Not by chance by divine fate. We choose the road in today. I’ve returned to you as I always will I smile in your sweet skies.
Then I recall the day you passed me by. Oh, I wish I could fly.
Then I could fly away forever and a day with you.

For who art thou that I must past by and why should you blow away. If you return to me once again, why must thou be kept in silence of my heart?
